After Chen Qing got off work, He Yuxiang took her to work overtime.
"I'm too busy, can you help me?"
"I'm truly impressed."
Chen Qing rolled her eyes.
He Yuxiang didn't want to either.
But he didn't expect so many orders at the end of the year, so many that he couldn't handle them all.
As soon as winter vacation started, Fu Shuyan was forced to work overtime.
He Yuxiang originally wanted to ask Yang Yihe for help, since Yang Yihe was a very capable person, but she went to work at a clothing factory to earn her aunt's thirty-odd yuan!
He really couldn't understand what Yang Yihe was after!
But Xiaoyu is still studying traditional Chinese medicine in the capital, waiting for her uncle to come home for the Chinese New Year.
The only person he can get to help right now is his aunt.
When Chen Qing arrived at the electronics factory, everyone looked at her like she was a big star.
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Chen Qing, you can just call me Comrade Chen."
Everyone shouted in unison, "Hello, Director Chen!"
Chen Qingle: "Hello, comrades."
He Yuxiang: "..."
Even when this group called out to him, they didn't shout in such unison.
"Come with me."
"Tsk."
We'll come to your door to help.
He even started to dislike her.
He Yuxiang brought her here mainly because relevant departments are investigating whether his assets qualify as capital, which remains to be seen. "We may have to close down for a while, so we are working urgently to avoid losing money."
He Yuxiang's electronic watches were making exorbitant profits, and some people complained. At first, everyone thought that he was Chen Qing's nephew and turned a blind eye. However, as He Yuxiang expanded boldly, the number of employees in the factory has reached 280. The number of complaint letters has increased, and the relevant authorities have urgently ordered a halt to the operation!
He Yuxiang used the pretext of donations to secure a winter break without breaching the contract; after the break, he would close down the business.
He Yuxiang was in a bad mood. After the development of electronic watches, he could earn more than 5,000 yuan a day. In a short period of time, his family's savings amounted to more than 600,000 yuan. If he were given another six months, he would easily have a million yuan.
But once the label of capitalism was slapped on him, there was nothing he could do.
Chen Qing came to help, mainly to assist as the group leader. The electronic watch production line was arranged along the stamping machine. The workers sat on long wooden benches, their fingers flying as they assembled the watch movement, inserted the button battery into the slot, then applied conductive adhesive to the LCD screen, and then used tweezers to precisely place the quartz oscillator.
Chen Qing helped out until midnight and wanted to drag He Yuxiang home to rest, but seeing him sullenly handling his work, she said, "If you don't leave, I'll beat you up."
He Yuxiang stood up, lowered his head, and followed her.
Chen Qing said, "You've already earned so much, you'll never have to worry about food or clothing in the future, so what's there to be sad about?"
"This is my first time starting a business..."
In just six months.
That's all.
He Yuxiang could guess that the electronics factory might close down soon, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Money is secondary.
He was very reluctant to lose the channels and connections he had painstakingly built up.
Chen Qing asked, "Haven't you tried to continue?"
He Yuxiang looked up at the hazy moon, as if a layer of mist was also enveloping him: "Originally, I used the family situation of these employees as a bargaining chip. Without my salary, they would have no job. At first, they wavered, but later it had no effect unless I could reduce the number of people to less than ten, and become a family workshop like many small garment factories."
"What else?"
Chen Qing asked.
He Yuan looked at his aunt: "Do you have a solution?"
Chen Qing: "I didn't."
"You have."
Okay, I have it.
What is that?
"Think about it yourself. In short, there is something to it. Think about it slowly." Chen Qing nodded slightly at him, but did not intend to completely act as his advisor.
The electronics factory has more than 200 families. It's easy to lay them off, but it's also troublesome. The period of exorbitant profits in electronic watches is only three years long. Whether He Yuxiang can seize the opportunity is up to him.
After returning home, He Yuxiang suffered from insomnia. He tossed and turned, trying to come up with a good idea, but couldn't. After staying up all night, he asked Mao Mao and Fu Shuyan for advice.
Besides studying, working, and practicing singing, Mao Mao has to juggle multiple roles. How could she possibly come up with any ideas to revive the electronics factory?
Fu Shuyan harbored deep resentment towards him: "I should have been with Xiaoyu!!!"
He Yuxiang couldn't talk to someone who was so eager to be in a relationship, so after thinking about it, he went to find Yang Yihe again.
Yang Yihe was baffled. "Why are you looking for me? I haven't started a business."
He Yuxiang: Because he doesn't have many friends.
So he told Yang Yihe about all the problems he was facing, regardless of the consequences.
Yang Yihe thought about it carefully: "If my aunt said there is a way, then there must be a way."
He Yuxiang: Nonsense.
Yang Yihe is currently working on a magazine and needs to interview a foreign celebrity. Of course, the magazine will package her as an 'international superstar,' which will raise the status of both parties. So she couldn't help but think, "You can't run a factory if you're Chinese, but it's very easy if you're a Hong Kong businessman or a foreign businessman."
He Yuxiang was taken aback, thanked them, and left. He spent a huge sum of money to get a Hong Kong ID card so that he could set up a factory in the mainland as a Hong Kong businessman.
While He Yuan was taking his three children home for the Chinese New Year, He Yuxiang had already become a resident of Gangcheng.
When He Yuxiang picked them up from the train, he told them that he had become a resident of Gangcheng.
Xiao Yu: "Luckily it's Hong Kong, otherwise I would have called you a foreigner."
He Yuxiang was speechless.
What was his purpose in doing this?
It's all for the sake of doing business properly.
After obtaining his Gangcheng ID card, He Yuxiang dared to do business openly and honestly.
He Yuan: "Where's your aunt?"
He Yuxiang: "Going to work."
He Yuan was disappointed.
He Yuxiang: "..."
These are parents who don't care about their children!
As the group rode home in a tricycle from the train station, Chen Qing was awarding everyone prizes.
The prizes mainly consist of various securities, as well as enamel mugs, towels, washbasins, brown sugar, pork, and apples.
The stage was piled high with gifts, and Chen Qing smiled as she greeted everyone. This was the happiest time of the year for her during meetings.
Chen Qing handed her two jin of pork, a net bag of apples, and a certificate: "You performed very well this year. I wish you continued success in the new year."
The woman accepted it with a bright smile, saying, "Thank you, Factory Director."
Then they waited happily to the side to take pictures.
Mu Luge was also among those who received the award. Excitedly, she walked up to Chen Qing and mustered her courage to say, "Director Chen, it's been a long time."
"Long time no see." Chen Qing replied with a smile, "The things you developed are amazing. The garment factory has seen great improvements. As the factory manager, on behalf of all the employees, I thank you for your contributions."
Mu Luge was surprised that she actually remembered and was somewhat excited: "Thank you, Factory Director."
Chen Qing took the TV ticket, refrigerator ticket, radio ticket, sewing ticket, ten-jin meat ticket, and fifty-jin grain ticket from Secretary Zhang and handed them all to Mu Luge.
Lei Songyue stood to the side, holding a microphone, announcing Mu Luge's reward.
Lei Songyue recited one each time.
A gasp of surprise rang out from the audience once. (End of Chapter)
